fluffy - that link doesn't work for me.

The Marvel HQ thing. Hmm he could be discussing a role, or maybe Tom Hiddlestone was there (Loki in the new Avengers film thingy) and they were off out for a spot of lunch? So, no idea.

LetUsPrey · 01/05/2012 20:19

This apparently says that BC and Steven Moffat had a tour of the Marvel Studios.

Fluffymonster · 01/05/2012 20:28

Prey - ah, it's a facebook page...so maybe only fb users...

Oh that explains it - mystery solved!

LetUsPrey · 01/05/2012 20:37

Can't be it as I use FB even though I'm a bit rubbish at it and my primary reason for joining a few years ago was to stalk Steve Backshall Blush

Fluffymonster · 01/05/2012 20:56

Hmm sorry, I can get into the link alright, but not sure how I can get it working for everyone else - need someone more techie!

Do you have Twitter? Try getting it via twitter - @PBS about an hr ago.

[goes back to rubbing sticks together to try and discover fire]

...But the actual livestream isn't on yet - so nothing will play remember...

Fluffymonster · 01/05/2012 21:03

Still rocking those braces!

LetUsPrey · 01/05/2012 21:12

Don't think I'll be watching the live stream anyway. I shall be asleep (I think if it's on at our nighttime)!

He really suits the braces and the blue shirt with the rolled up sleeves doesn't he?

Fluffymonster · 01/05/2012 21:22

Definitely - I like a good forearm on a man, so rolled up sleeves do it for me!

Slightly in awe of the rippling muscles straining underneath that shirt! I'm more into SherlockBatch, and GingerBatch, but GatsbyBatch is very nice too.

LetUsPrey · 01/05/2012 21:33

GatsbyBatch Grin love it!

Right, time for a bit of an overshare. Over the course of the day and night I have many thoughts about BC. I was working away this afternoon, glancing every so often at the "rolling sleeves up" picture and the "I'm going to shag you senseless in the stables" picture. An image of BC, er, kneeling in front of me IYKWIM (both not wearing much) with my fingers twined into his hair flashed into my head. It was so sudden and vivid it made me gasp and Blush!

Bit difficult to concentrate after that!

LadyClariceCannockMonty · 01/05/2012 21:59

Thanks, Prey, but I've decided to take the only sensible option and watch them both. Grin

DP will be out clubbing, til very late, so I'll have plenty of time.

Can't wait.

Fluffymonster · 01/05/2012 22:02

Haha! Prey that's very nawty. In work, too. OK well since we're oversharing - I do imagine kneeling going on...but usually he's not the one that's kneeling IYKWIM.

I also think about kissing the mole on his neck - omg puh-lease, don't let me ever be in a situation where I actually meet him and he realises I've posted this!

This talk of forearms, and gasping reminded me of of course. Come to think of it it's been a while since I watched Sherlock on dvd!

Off to put it on and settle down with a cuppa!

CaveMum · 01/05/2012 22:11

Tut tut Prey Wink Grin

I do love those moments that pop into your head and make your skin tingle!

[refuses to tell what she's been thinking]

LetUsPrey · 01/05/2012 22:13

Both of them LadyClarice? Greedy!

Grin fluffy it was just the clarity of it, it was almost like a memory. Wow, I bloody wish!

On a slightly more innocent note, one of my favourite lines (which I think is strangely a bit oh my) from Cabin Pressure is from the Ottery St Mary episode when he says "jelly babies to manual".

LetUsPrey · 01/05/2012 22:16

Cross-posts CaveMum!

CaveMum · 01/05/2012 22:21

All I'll say is I'm an old fashioned girl at heart and like to be seduced Wink

LetUsPrey · 02/05/2012 07:51

My scenario I posted about was just one time of many so plenty of scope for seduction too!

LetUsPrey · 02/05/2012 08:21

I bloody love What Are You Wearing Benedict?

LadyClariceCannockMonty · 02/05/2012 09:13

Prey, yep. Smile

Well, if we're sharing northy thoughts - I must admit to recurring fantasies about Benedict-As-Martin-Crieff-But-Oh-So-Much-Masterful .... ooooh, all that gold braid and authority-figure stuff...

Blush

Breaks into cold sweat and becomes incapable of cohert typing....

TheAddict · 02/05/2012 10:09

Addictus Minimus, the acne-ridden Lothario of the local college, he who has left home so many sodding times in the last eighteen months that I am wondering whether to replace the front door with a set of revolving doors - I don't remember his father being Australian, but Addictus M returns so many times I begin to wonder if he a touch of boomerang in his genes (and indeed his jeans) - is still at that revolting stage where he is convinced that he is the only person ever to have discovered sex - indeed, he seems to think that he invented it.

TheAddict is, of course, in his eyes. a sad old baggage who is pushing senility and who could not possibly ever had a raging hormone in her life. But good for doing his washing.

If he ever had the faintest idea that his 46 year old Mum harbours exceedingly filthy thoughts about BC, Addictus Mimimus might, for the first time in his short life, actually be lost for words.

TheAddict · 02/05/2012 10:44

Dear Mr Cumberbatch

I should very much appreciate your assistance in helping resolve a problem which I have: to wit, my youngest son who, in addition to being the most revolting individual it has ever been my misfortune to encounter, keeps leaving home.

This in itself is not the problem: the problem is that the little swine keeps moving back in.

Having contemplated my options, I am convinced that the only solution is for the little toe-rag, on his next return to Chez Addict, to discover you and I having exceedingly filthy and noisy sex in the living room. Or possibly against the door of the fridge.

Going on his track record so far, his return could take anything from 23 minutes to a month. However, I would be more than willing for you to offer your services for longer than this, as the above-mentioned scenario might also dissuade his siblings from SAS-style swoops on the house at any hours of the day or night in order to completely strip it of anything vaguely resembling food.

The door of the fridge is beginning to look most likely. Surely even they'd notice?

Don't bother to pack - this might take some considerable time.

Love

TheAddict

CaveMum · 02/05/2012 12:45

Addict you have a gift Grin

You should write a blog!

LetUsPrey · 02/05/2012 12:50

TheAddict - the lusting after Martin Crieff linked to the food and fridge suggestion makes my fascination with "jelly babies to manual" even more appealing!

mostlymay · 02/05/2012 13:26

Afternoon ladies, found new photos of BC accidentally ...whilst working.....anyway thought I'd post them as he looks lush and very sweet with his mummy :-) Enjoy :-) [[www.deareje.tumblr.com/tagged/End-of-The-Rainbow]]sorry if link is rubbish still a bit of a newbie with this!

Fluffymonster · 02/05/2012 13:26

The Addict - I have to say, your posts are a reason to keep checking in on this thread in themselves!! Grin

PBS has said on Twitter that the Q&A Sherlock event in NY will be recorded and there will be worldwide access to the recordings - hurray.
